P heads have a different sprak plug angle, thus requiring different headers or long tubes with angled plug boots.

gt40s came off of explorers too, 1996-1997.5 then they changed to gt40p.

the gt 40s have larger intake and exhaust valves, the gt40p has larger intake valves only, the exhaust valves are the same size as the e7 heads. The P's make slightly more power than the gt40s

In stock form, the P heads make more power up to .500 lift, after that the GT40's flow more.... W/ some mild porting, the GT40's will be better heads all around.

if you get different headers which you have too then doing spark plugs aint worse then normal, but aint easiest car to do it on to begin with.
